Results of the DistLM model using the best model selection procedure and the adjusted R 2 selection criterion to illustrate correlations between environmental variables and oomycete community patterns
| Variables in model | Adjusted R 2 | R 2 |
|---|---|---|
| A | .1317 | .1896 |
| A, S | .2650 | .3630 |
| A, S, N | .2848 | .4278 |
| A, S, N, Sl | .3087 | .4930 |
| A, S, N, Sl, F | .3144 | .5429 |
| A, S, N, Sl, F, V | .3101 | .5861 |
Selected environmental variables included altitude (A), skeleton (S), nitrogen (N), slope (Sl), crown foliation (F) and tree vigor (V). R 2 shows the proportion of variance explained, whereas adjusted R 2 provides the R 2 adjusted for the number of parameters included in the model.
